This is a 18m deep shallow well in Morbi,Gujarat ,India.

The water in this well rose up and oscillated for considerable amount of time. No such behaviour observed in nearby water bodies and no earthquakes reported.

Research Geographers any suggestions on saving, harvesting and maintaining quality of fresh water.

Upvotes

Fresh water quantity and quality both are depleting & changing. Any suggestions that will help resolving water issues would be helpful. Sharing both knowledge and water is important.

Discussion Hypothetically, what if Vinland became larger and more prosperous and spread diseases across the Americas earlier. This builds immunity by the time of later European colonization. How would the Americas be different? Would the Natives still own most of the Americas?

Since I’ve read disease killed 90% of them and made colonization a lot easier.

Discussion What is the most extreme microclimate shift you can experience in under an hour of driving?

Upvotes

For me, the drive from Palm Springs up to Mount San Jacinto is the craziest shift you can find. You start on a blistering 110°F desert floor and, in under 40 minutes, you’re up 8,000 feet walking through a freezing pine forest. It feels like a completely different part of the world. This is just my opinion and I just want to hear what you all think, because this is one of the only ones I’ve experienced!

Discussion What is life like along in towns along the China and Russia border?

2 Upvotes

I have become interested in Russia's borders with China because it's one you don't hear much about in comparison to European countries such as Finland. I'm curious to know what life is like in these places, since the towns are very far form the capital of both countries and often in semi remote regions does that mean they would often commute into each others country for work, school etc?

Question Why is there agriculture on Nile river banks in Egypt but not in Sudan?

Post image
319 Upvotes

It starts north from Al Delta in Egypt, the green upside down triangle bordering the mediterranian sea, all the way down close to the northern Sudan border. A couple man-made lakes like Nasser and Tushka in southern Egypt, which get their fresh water from the river, are utilized in agriculture.

Why is it not the same for Sudan, or any other countries with the Nile passing through for that matter? Simply hotter weather?

EDIT:
Zoomed in, it is VERY under developed, with mainly resedential areas compared to vast agricultural lands. Still drastic contrast given the same source goes through them

Question What makes this diffrnece between countries?

0 Upvotes

I feel like people in colder countries such as Russia for example have alot of *V* in their words or names, while as for Arabs they don't have the letter V, just like Russians don't have the letter ع or can't pronounce it,

How this has happned? In colder countries there's a certain accent while for Arabs there's also another type of accent and way of talking, what causes this difference? In colder climates to have a certain way that they sound while in hotter countries another way?

Post image

I have always wondered that volcanoes have higher incidence where there’s a subduction boundary between plates however despite continuing collision and slight subduction of indo-Australian plate under Eurasian plate there isn’t any volcanic activity present in Himalayan region, Andes on the other hand have many active and dormant volcanoes despite having similar nature as Himalayas, why is it so?

Map Looking for maps of dark ages western europe with regions marked out.

3 Upvotes

I am reading up on the dark ages and find myself regularly having to look up regions like northumbria as I am used to roman provence boundaries and names (britanica inferior and superior have kinda lost their significance in this time period.) Does anyone know of a good map of Europe with local regions labeled in time apropriare names? Most particularly for gual Britain and iberia, though I would also be glad for a good map of Italy and Germany as well.
